What it does

Get the human's Briefing — the app's one page to start the day from, built by the same rules: (1) agents: what agents did since since — tasks shipped, runs that failed or are still running, how many tasks were handed to the human, which agents ran; (2) needs_you: everything parked on the human (a plan to approve, a result to sign off, a question), longest-waiting first; (3) priorities: today's top open tasks — overdue, due today, planned for today, or urgent — each with why it's on the list and where it stands, plus what was finished today; (4) calendar: today's events and the Plan my day blocks (see get_todays_plan). Every task carries its url. since (ISO instant) is when the human was last here; omit it for the last 12 hours, and it never reaches back more than 7 days. Use it for a morning briefing or "catch me up".
